Trump skipping WH Correspondents Dinner to hold rally In Michigan

[HomerJS]

I know she’s not the president but if Sarah Huckabee Sanders decides she’ll never attend again would you say she has a fragile ego? I’ve only watched a few minutes of it but it seems the comedian went beyond a roast. Why would anyone sit up in front of a crowd and knowingly subject themselves to that.

But its perfectly fine under the cover of Twitter

I think the main reason Trump would never attend one is because it’s tradition for the President to make fun of themselves as well as the press. Trump could NEVER poke fun at himself, he thinks he’s perfect. And as a bully, he can dish it out but can’t take it.

Well, I'd say it's more that last part (you can picture him being sincerely angry at even the mildest ribbing), but it's guaranteed that any podium time at the WHCD would be a train wreck. He'd be happy to attack everyone else, and talk about how great he thinks he is, but he wouldn't be self-effacing in the slightest.

It's weird how so many self-described macho rednecks still rally behind this orange gasbag with balls the size of dehydrated peas.

They do it because their wife's bull will kick their ass if they don't.

Isn't that cute. Are you girls together? That's fantastic. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

At this point IJTSSG's mother told him to get off the computer because she needed to get to her Sunday appointments.

It was pretty ugly the roasting she received, but then she is a very ugly person (her character), and nothing said about here was not true. You see, funny is only funny when it is based on a foundation of truth--again the single principle of humor that conservatives, by and large, continue to fail to understand. Over and over and over again.

Yeah, that was definitely harsh. But funny. The truth hurts, and that's all there is to it. Things need to be said, they continue to need to be said, and it's actually A GREAT THING that these things can be said like this, and very publicly. I love this country for that. Conservative snowflakes, on the other hand, seem to disagree. Little bitch conservatives that felt mortally offended by this can fucking move to North Fucking Korea if they so desire. No one will miss them. And that's just it--you retards wouldn't bring this on yourselves if you actually had balls and could take a joke. See: every other WHPCD, and especially see G Dub Bush. Now THAT guy could take a joke, and he could dish them. This current crop of whiny bitch snowflakes, as seen all over this thread and primarily by their golden Idol, King Orange of the Tiny Dick, are a sad representation of humans.

Get a fucking clue, you god damn humorless bunch of wusses. But then maybe that is the problem: You see the vile core of your humorless, country-killing ideals tossed back at you, so plainly as Wolff did, and you see it for the truth that it is. You can't deny it, not one bit of it, because you know that everything she says is true. There is no denying it. So you can't laugh because you know it is you, and that you are responsible. You hate yourselves for being so vile and so poisonous to modern society, that you just turn inward on yourselves and only project your anger outward, to everyone else but yourselves.

Not all seem to agree with you

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/29/white-house-correspondents-dinner-draws-criticism-debate.html

In an interview with CNN early Sunday, White House Correspondents' Association President Margaret Talev stressed that Wolf's performance was not indicative of the atmosphere of unity that the association was trying to create. "I don't think the comedian speaks for the press corps."

Well why the fuck did they invite her then?

Don't bring a tiger to the birthday party if you don't want children eaten.

The snowflakes are crying about getting roasted, but Wolf even commented 2 mins into her set that she didn't think they did their homework before they invited her.

Congrats on dropping two F bombs and a pussy on cspan. Almost made the channel worth watching. Her material was funny for the most part.

 

[blankslate]

Agree, I only watched the first few minutes before turning it off. Not sure how the WHC decided she was the right choice to follow Hasan Minhaj.

She was absolutely the right person tho follow him she hit just about every target she took aim at... and no she wasn't cruel to any of them at all.

In some cases she was perhaps too kid gloves

[blankslate]

If someone wants to attack her for her actions? Sure. That's not where it stopped. It was calculated cruelty and despite what Sarah is or might be I'm not a fan.

Michelle Wolf attacked Huckabee for Burning facts... being a disappointment to other women because of her actions in lying...
well considered criticisms turned into harsh harsh jokes.

This. It was a proper roast.

I don't get the hysteria over this. Roasts are supposed to make you uncomfortable.

Because The Supreme Leader must not be questioned or ridiculed by the Enemy of the People.

Because it lets conservatives wrap themselves in the mantle of victimhood. It's their favorite outfit.

Let's add too that some of the bitching is coming from the media who was also got roasted, so there might be an element of butt hurt coming from them.

They want their little self-congratulatory party to tell them how great they are, but really they are also the ones helplessly getting lied to and played by the WH on a daily basis.

She called them out on their bullshit that Trump had been a boon for their business, but the populace as a whole is still poorly informed/misinformed.

 

[UberNeuman]

I have my own thoughts and standards and that generally includes civil behavior. Perhaps you get satisfaction from Wolf and I get that. I thought it was funny as hell when Avenatti photobombed Sarah and Conway. I try to avoid cruelty although I'm capable of it. That's my nature.

Is Trump one day closer from being removed? No. Is Avanetti closer to a trial date? No. Is anyone likely to say "well hell these people are awful"? No.

What you won was satisfaction in pissing people off. I get that, I really do. The visceral pleasure of letting these people know what you feel. You can't shout at them to their faces so Wolf provided the satisfying metaphorical twist of the blade but without warmth of life leaving the body as it flows over your hands and spills onto the ground, ending the enemies ability to act and harm the nation you are there to protect.

But it's Monday and none of this pleasure was significant or real so it doesn't change anything. What did anyone really win that changes the world?

By this metric - why say anything at all. It's just words. It doesn't matter. Why do anything at all? Thing is that is does matter - every little bit matters and time comes around to it because people can't escape the truth unless they are allowed to.... So, I'm in the camp of shining that big ole mirror of reality and reflecting all of it back of those that wish to live in a dream.

You aren't addressing my point but you are being counterproductive in approach. It gives you "feels" perhaps but please don't conflate that with the truth.

I know about vaccines as part of my profession and education is too. The conveying of the truth to achieve the desired effect if vaccination is my goal, the good I can do.

Reasoning with people who have their minds made up is notoriously difficult. Just providing the facts isn't enough. "Here's a list of articles about the safety of vaccines" is just more trash back at home. No, it's a carefully constructed and carried out argument that might work.

Know what doesn't?

"Look you dumb fat bitch, I don't know why you want to hurt the kids you lie about loving, but cut that shit out and take care of your family. Oh, and damn, who sold you those shoed? That ought to be a hanging offense."

Well I've spoken in plain terms and told the truth. What do I win?

It's very simple, Obama humiliated Trump at the function a few years back. That is his sole motivation for fucking up just about everything. Elimination of Obama scent markings from the world. I mean this seriously.

Can’t handle the heat, so goes for the praise of his supporters. What a tool.

Early footage of the president has surfaced:

Gimme a big ol' Wah!

And always remember that the Media is the Enemy of the People.

WTF do you expect after Trump threw down the gauntlet?

Granted, when I wrote that, I had only watched the first 3 minutes. After the uproar, I went back and watched the "offensive" jokes and realized a few things:

1) I hate Wolf's delivery--THAT'S why I turned her off. Something in my male lizard brain thought she was too shrill/fake/something I don't like. I wonder if that's how some people here react to Hillary Clinton?

2) She never really insulted SHS' appearance. I guess I should take a lesson from some of the right leaning folks here--you can't always believe what you read in the mainstream media. She complemented SHS "perfect smokey eye" and said she used "ashes from burnt facts"...that's not a dig on her appearance. All of her attacks on SHS were based on the fact that she's complicit in all the shady crap this WH tries to spoon-feed the press. Fair game.

3) Wolf absolutely nailed the ending of her speech--using her platform to highlight that Flint still doesn't have clean water [and is no longer getting free bottle water] and that the media is profiting off of the 24 hour "OMG Trump!" news cycle and was an enabler to him reaching such a wide audience. I only wish she had focused on that more rather than just taking shots at the easy targets.

 

[blankslate]

Here are some remarks about Michell Wolf's roasting of the Washington Insiders at the WHCD from a well regarded comedian.

I think she nailed it. I thought it was beautiful and I didn't see her pander once.

I believe that if George Carlin or Bill Hicks were with us they would give her similar praises.
